Cape Town - South Africa's Akani Simbine will line up alongside Usain Bolt and Justin Gatlin in the final of the 100m in Rio.
Running in the first of the three semi-finals, Simbine finished in third in 9.98 - which wound up being quick enough to progress to the final as one of the two "fastest losers".
Jamaica's Usain Bolt posted the quickest time for the final in 9.86.
